Our Change of Business Address Service
Part of our business compliance and post registration services, we offer a comprehensive change of business address service that covers all the filing stages, from the SEC to the statutory agencies:
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
For corporations and partnerships registered with the SEC, we start the process by amending the incorporation documents, e.g., Articles of Incorporation (AOI) and General Information Sheet (GIS) to reflect the new business address. We know that it takes some time for the commission to approve the amendment, so we have developed strategies to keep other processes rolling while we wait for the documents.
Barangay and City/Municipality (BPLO)
We understand that reprocessing permits and clearances with the barangays and cities or municipalities, i.e., after the business relocation, is complex and complicated given the combined business retirement and new business registration processes. However, you can assure that our experienced and expert team has all the means and resources to keep everything smooth and within timelines.
Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR)
Whether the change of business address is within the same or different Revenue District Offices (RDOs), we can process all the necessary filings on your behalf to ensure that your business continuously operates in compliance with the related tax laws and regulations.
Statutory Agencies (SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG)
To complete our change of business address service package, we also process the change of servicing branches and updates on records with the statutory agencies (i.e., SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG Fund). Not only do they entail legal responsibilities, but they also ensure that your company and employees will not have any future problems.
